Edmonton 🇨🇦
With a population of close to 1 million, Edmonton has a growing and well-supported ecosystem for entrepreneurs. It offers lower costs than hubs like Toronto and Vancouver, helping founders extend runway and build more efficiently.
The city is backed by strong institutions like the University of Alberta and the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, making it a growing hub for AI and innovation. Support from groups like Startup Edmonton and a tight-knit founder community make it easier to access mentorship, talent, and early support.
For founders seeking affordability, talent, and a collaborative ecosystem, Edmonton is an increasingly strong place to build.
